What if truth could speak? Not metaphorically, not through human interpretation, but as its own entity—indignant, unyielding, and, above all, betrayed?This week on Mission Forward, Carrie Fox sits down with bestselling author Mitch Albom in front of a live audience to examine the anatomy of truth—how it bends, how it breaks, and how, in the hands of history's most cunning deceivers, it can be weaponized.Mitch, known for Tuesdays with Morrie and The Five People You Meet in Heaven, takes us behind the curtain of his latest novel, The Little Liar, a story where truth itself is the narrator. He unpacks the moment of inspiration—standing in Israel's Yad Vashem Holocaust Museum, listening to a survivor's voice echo through time. He shares his research journey from the streets of Thessaloniki to the darkest corners of human deception.And he pulls no punches about the world we live in today—where lies are not just believed but preferred.As much as this is a conversation about literature, history, even philosophy, it is just as much a conversation about faith—not the quiet, passive kind, but faith in action. Mitch talks candidly about his work in Haiti, the children he has come to love as his own, and the moral weight of decisions that shape their futures. He even gives us a glimpse into his next book, Twice, a whimsical yet profound meditation on second chances and their unintended consequences.How do we cultivate truth? How do we resist the seduction of comforting lies? And, perhaps most poignantly, what does faith look like when it moves beyond words? In a world where deception is currency, the real question isn't whether truth exists—it's whether we have the courage to hear it.Links & NotesLearn more about The Little Liar by Mitch AlbomSupport Mitch's work in Haiti (00:00) - Welcome to Mission Forward

This week on the Tuesday People podcast, Mitch Albom explores the deeper meaning behind sacrifice—not as a burden, but as a noble aspiration. Drawing from his book The Five People You Meet in Heaven, Mitch reminds us that "Sacrifice is a part of life. It's supposed to be. It's not something to regret. It's something to aspire to." He shares personal reflections on the sacrifices he's made for his children in Haiti, illustrating how true sacrifice is rooted in love and purpose, even when the road gets difficult.

Once you find purpose, and once you find style… what's left? Beauty. What's left is finding and putting out beauty into the world.   There are not many writers who have genuinely figured this out … but one of them is Mitch Albom. Mitch is the author of '​Tuesdays with Morrie​,' the bestselling memoir of all time, as well as '​The Five People You Meet in Heaven​' and his latest bestseller '​The Little Liar​' which came out in 2023 and debuted at #1 on the New York Times bestseller list. His books have sold over 40 million copies. Mitch just doesn't turn off. He's like a Tasmanian Devil. He's hosting a ​radio show​, he's on TV, he's writing columns in the ​Detroit Free Press​, he's a musician, he's even running an ​orphanage in Haiti​. Mitch is full of energy and life and moves quickly and talks quickly … and so we talked about that. We go deep into why he moves through life so fast. We unpack his relationship with Morrie and talk about how I actually misinterpreted parts of the book. We talk about what the worst thing you can say to an artist is (which he learned from Maya Angelou) and what the true enemy of getting things done is (and surprise, it's not time or energy). Fly down to Detroit with me and let's take the elevator way, way up the 96-year-old ​Fisher Building​. Let's enjoy the wise Mitch Albom sharing his 3 most formative books with us in this classic chapter. Let's flip the page to Chapter 15 now...

This episode discusses Vell's difference between choices and decisions.  The Good Read for this episode is The Five People You Meet in Heaven by Mitch Albom. Eddie, an 83-year-old man killed trying to save a young girl, wakes up in the afterlife, where his life is retold by five people. As Eddie recounts his many ups and downs, he sees what his life meant, in turn reminding all of us that no matter how menial we feel, our life has meaning. This is a moving novel of immense emotional resonance. Eddie is a wounded war veteran, an old man who has lived, in his mind, an uninspired life. His job is fixing rides at a seaside amusement park. On his 83rd birthday, a tragic accident kills him, as he tries to save a little girl from a falling cart. He awakes in the afterlife, where he learns that heaven is not a destination. It's a place where your life is explained to you by five people, some of whom you knew, others who may have been strangers. One by one, from childhood to soldier to old age, Eddie's five people revisit their connections to him on earth, illuminating the mysteries of his "meaningless" life, and revealing the haunting secret behind the eternal question: "Why was I here?" What's Popping in Vell's World consists of the Kansa City Superbowl Shooting, Mark Zuckerberg reviewing Apple's Vision Pro headset, Ye - Vultures getting taken down, and more.

“It might seem strange to start a story with an ending, but all endings are also beginnings. We just don't know it at the time.” - Abigail K.

The 9th Commandment against bearing false witness seems straight forward as a directive against lying. But what happens if you tell a lie unknowingly because you're trusting nature is being abused and used for evil? That is the message of Mitch Albom's novel, "The Little Liar." Set during the Holocaust, the story revolves around a lie that a Jewish boy in Greece tells the people in his community a lie he doesn't know is untrue. "The trustworthy boy is discovered by a German officer, who offers him a chance to save his family. All the boy has to do is convince his fellow Jewish residents to board trains heading to “new homes” where they are promised jobs and safety." In fact, they are trains headed for concentration camps. On this episode of Lighthouse Faith podcast, Albom, best-selling author of "Tuesday's With Morrie," and "The Five People You Meet in Heaven," explains what happens long-term when a deadly lie is perpetrated against a young boy's trusting nature, and how the lie kills more than just trust, but people, relationships and even the soul. Albom's gift is in letting fiction tell the truths about reality. Communities can't survive without truth. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Mitch Albom is the author of books that have sold more than 40 million copies, including eight New York Times number one best-sellers. Several are considered classics like Tuesdays with Morrie and The Five People You Meet in Heaven. Appearing on The Spark Thursday, Albom talked about his latest book -- a novel called The Little Liar,"The Little Liar is a novel set during World War II, narrated by the Voice of Truth. And the little liar is actually a boy who lives in a Greek city who, until he's 11, has never told a lie in his life. And there's a little girl in the town who loves him for it. And then when the Nazis invade, they discover his reputation and they decide to use him as a weapon. And they trick him into standing on the railroad tracks and telling all the people in his town that the trains are going to new homes and new jobs and that everything's going to be good and they should get on them. And he does this thinking, telling the truth and believing that if he does this, they'll let him go back to his family. And only on the very last day does he see his family and the little girl shoved into a boxcar and he finds out that these trains are actually going out, but in the concentration camp and he realizes that the first lie that he's ever told in life is actually going to be the worst lie he's ever going to tell. And the book follows him and the little girl and the family for the next 40 years and shows the consequences of that single lie on that single day and how it affected him, the girl, the family, even the Nazi who tricked him. It ultimately becomes a story about forgiveness and hope against that backdrop. But has the question of the truth and how precious the truth is and what happens when we pervert it." When asked whether the timing of the book's release was influenced by the misinformation and disinformation we're subjected to everyday, Albom responded,"I can't take any credit for the fact that it comes out during a time when suddenly anti-Semitism and echoes of the past are prevalent. Because I started a couple of years ago, no one would have known that. But but I did know that we live in a time where people are choosing their own truth and, they listen to one cable TV channel and don't listen to any of the others, or they read one paper, they follow one through social media thing. And we live in a time where at that famous expression goes a lie told once is easily seen as a lie, but a lie told a thousand times becomes the truth. And, we see how quickly on the Internet and in social media and Twitter and the like, how a single lie can be shot across the world before truth gets its pants on. And and so I thought this is absolutely a time for a book narrated by the Voice of Truth that talks about -- look at what you're doing to me. Look at how you're ruining me and destroying me." Beginning with his book Tuesdays With Morrie, Albom has been viewed as one of the world's iconic writers. Here's what he said about his writing career,"I've had a very fortunate career and it's been very varied. And I meet people who say, Oh, I just knew you from ESPN, I didn't even know you wrote books. And these other people say, I only know you from your books. I didn't even know you covered sports. And so I've had a lot of different lives, but I've been very blessed to meet some very influential people like Morrie Schwartz, who was the story of Tuesdays with Morrie. And I think that that was kind of a turning point in my life when I was able to sit with a man who was dying from Lou Gehrig's disease and hear what was important in life and what wasn't once he was going to die. And I never forgot those lessons that I wrote. I wrote that book not to become a bestseller. I wrote it to help pay his medical bills and to have something personal for me to remember. And the fact that it became a big bestseller was sort of accidental. But it also taught me that those themes are really important to people, and I've been writing books that sort of touch on them ever since. And the fact that they find a wide audience is a blessing. But, I don't think it's me. I think it's the themes that I write about. And, that's why people embrace the work."  Support WITF: https://www.witf.org/support/give-now/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Hello to you listening in Holland, Michigan!Coming to you from Whidbey Island, Washington this is Stories From Women Who Walk with 60 Seconds for Time Out Tuesday and your host, Diane Wyzga  All great stories start with simple words. For example:“Here is a small fact. You are going to die.” [The Book Thief by Markus Zusak]“It was a bright cold day in April, and the clocks were striking thirteen.” [1984 by George Orwell]“This is the story of a man named Eddie and it starts at the end, with Eddie dying in the sun. It may seem strange to start a story with an ending, but all endings are also beginnings. We just don't know it at the time.” [The Five People You Meet in Heaven by Mitch Albom]What's happening here? It could be the “sorcery of stories.” Practically speaking it's how each writer imagined a scene, combined the words - simple words - and made their story one of a kind.Practical Tip: Sit yourself in a comfortable spot with some blank pieces of paper and a few colored markers. Breathe, gaze off into space, imagine a scene. With all the intention of a playful experiment begin to doodle with simple word images to start your great story with that scene.And, if you would like a hand up to clarify your ideas and language, signal me.

In this episode I am sharing some thoughts about a message I heard recently after an interview with Brandon Puffer.  His episode was #541 on the podcast.  In today's episode we discuss: 1) Success, money, acknowledgement should only make you more of who you are.  These things amplify who you are.  If you become a different person (in a negative frame) in the process, then success is changing you. 2) Who you meet on the way up is who you might meet on the way down too. Let Brandon's lesson in life that he is most grateful for ring through for you.  3) This relates to the book, “The Five People You Meet in Heaven”, by Mitch Albom.  The core take aways are this: everything happens for a reason; sacrifices make an impact in the lives of other people; forgiveness; the essence of love; and every human life has a purpose.  My personal take away from this book has always been that I never know who I am having an impact on and some of the people who have impacted me, I have never met. Our impact and reach goes far beyond us. That is legacy, choose to live it wisely.  Join the OUTSPOKEN NLP Coaching Certification https://www.marshavanw.com/outspoken2023 Connect with us on Patreon https://www.patreon.com/user?u=84564864 Marsha Vanwynsberghe — NLP Storytelling Trainer, Author, Speaker, and Podcaster Marsha is the 6-time Bestselling Author of “When She Stopped Asking Why”.  She shares her lessons as a parent who dealt with teen substance abuse that tore her family unit apart.

For his birthday a few years back, Dan's mother gave him two gifts: a copy of Mitch Albom's best-seller The Five People You Meet in Heaven, and a gift certificate from a local skydiving company. He didn't read the book, but he doesn't need to read it to feel ripped off. Five people. That's it? You'd think that after all the time and effort you put into churchgoing and praying and not coveting your neighbor's butt, God would giveth up a tad more variety in the afterlife. What giveseth, Yahweh? Still, it got Dan thinking about bars (if you haven't noticed, everything gets him thinking about bars).

On Today's episode, we're proud to have New York Times best-selling author, Mitch Albom.  Mitch is a journalist, screenwriter, playwright, and radio host who has captured the hearts of readers worldwide with his thought-provoking novels and memoirs. From "Tuesdays with Morrie" to "The Five People You Meet in Heaven," Mitch's writing delves into the complexities of life and death, love and loss, and the power of human connection. His latest book, Stranger in the Lifeboat,” continues this legacy, and we are honored to have him with us today to talk about his journey both as an author and as one who is continually giving back to the world in unique and thoughtful ways.

You may know him from his decades as a sports writer or as an internationally renowned and best selling author. Mitch Albom has sold more than 40 million books, like Tuesdays with Morrie, Five People You Meet in Heaven, and many more! But behind the words on the page is an incredible life worth emulating. It's a life that is impacting so many others from his home in Detroit to the streets of Haiti.

The five people you meet in Heaven by Mitch Albom is a story of purpose. Eddie is just a guy who works at an amusement park fixing rides that break down- or so it would appear. But when an expected accident forces him to die and "go to heaven" he is met along the way with people whose lives he touched inadvertently. He begins to slowly understand how everything he has done, including his futile job, are part of a bigger picture in the universe. If you've ever asked yourself "Why me?" or "why do bad things happen to me?", this book is for you. Albom explores the idea of interconnectivity and how everyone's life is woven together to create a big story that is well behind human understanding. Join us as we try to unravel the deep philosophical work in this book and discuss our favorite things about it

Mitch Albom's book took my mind to a place that was unique. How many people's lives do we effect without knowing it? What does a basic decision you make have to do with how someone else's day ends up? It's an interesting thought for sure. Support the show

Mitch Albom's best-selling book Tuesdays With Morrie was an up close and personal look at the death of a dear friend and the learning wisdom from an older person's wisdom of life. Albom's other books also take a deep dive into the spiritual reality of life's journey, like The Five People You Meet in Heaven and Stranger in the Lifeboat. But his recent book is much more personal, because it deals with the death of a child; his child... And the journey of trying to save her life. Finding Chika: A Little Girl, An Earthquake, and the Making of a Family, is Albom's book about the little girl he and his wife adopted from their orphanage they founded in Haiti after an earthquake devastated the island country. Chika was vibrant, full of life, fun and laughter. Even at her young age she possessed incredible wisdom. For Albom, it was Chika's death that brought a more poignant awareness of how precious life is. And in a way, Tuesdays With Morrie and Chika's story are bookends; both dealing with what we all must face, death. But then there's joy of focusing instead on being thankful for the time we had with a loved one, rather than mourning over their absence. Learn more about your ad choices.
